EXCERPT"Charlie set the National Geographic magazine on his lap, removed his bifocals, tipping his cap as Tavin exited the train. Tavin sifted through the sea of passersby, making his way through the Seattle train station. He glanced back at the train, smiling, wondering which passenger would occupy his vacated seat. How had good karma finally discovered Tavin? How had a chance seating assignment, 29D, shifted his destiny? Or was it by chance?
